Almost two centuries after the first Neanderthal was discovered, we are still learning a great deal about our ancient relatives. Neanderthals weren't the cave-dwelling, knuckle-dragging brutes ...

How different are we from Neanderthals? The answer is “not as much as we used to think”. Or, to put it another way, the more we learn about this group of archaic humans, the more similarities ...

A team of paleoanthropologists and geneticists from Aix Marseille Univ, CNRS, EFS, ADES has found evidence of what may have been a contributing factor to the decline of Neanderthals. In their ...

This is not surprising. Homo sapiens began in Africa but Neanderthals were Eurasian. Any miscegenation would have happened after sapiens left its homeland to embark on its conquest of the world.

A new study published in Scientific Reports finds that incompatibility between the blood groups of Neanderthals and modern humans may have contributed to the extinction of the Neanderthals.

Horses are far more than just a quick method of transportation in RDR2. The horse you choose to have on your adventure can make a huge difference to your whole experience. Ideally, they need to ...

The idea that Neanderthals and some ancestral populations of Homo sapiens interbred has gained traction over the past two decades. However, this theory is primarily supported by statistical approaches ...

Scientists uncovered how ancient blood groups helped Homo sapiens as compared to Neanderthals in their survival and spread worldwide. Image:Le Moustier’s 1920s art reconstruction of Neanderthals.

A group of researchers did just that, by analyzing genetic information from three groups of Early Man — most recently Neanderthal and Homo sapiens (earlier work also included Denisovans, an extinct ...

For years, scientists have known that Neanderthals and modern humans interbred, leaving behind genetic traces that still exist in many people today. If you have ancestry outside of Africa, chances are ...
